nudge: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que aunque a menudo [el término inglés "nudge"] se traduce como "empujón", esta palabra alude a un impulso que se da con fuerza, mientras que la voz inglesa sugiere […] que se trata de un estímulo suave, razón por la que en ocasiones se emplea "empujoncito", alternativa más coloquial, o "pequeño empujón". 2, record 1, Spanish, - dar%20un%20empujoncito

Behavioural or "nudge" economics is based on research that shows it is possible to guide individuals toward better decisions by presenting choices in different ways. A "nudge" has the ability of altering a behaviour in a predictable way without forbidding options or considerably changing economic incentives. Behavioural insights enable the development of policies that can encourage and support individuals in making better choices for not only themselves, but for society. 4, record 2, English, - behavioural%20economics
